Anyway. He's in Memphis now, running Athletic Resource Management. Has been since forever -- matter of fact, as I wrote back in '97, that's why Rote didn't become the first coach of the Dallas Sidekicks. Don Carter wanted him, but Rote opted instead to stay in Memphis, which is how he landed Gordon Jago instead. Regardless, Rote'll go into the Hall as a Tornado. Damn right he will. I hope he calls back.
